An 'Up'lifting movie

There is no way but Up ! from here. Pixar has once again proved that they are one of the best film makers of today. Not just the best 'animated' film makers. If you could get over the pre conceptions about 3D animation being for kids, you will be treated to one of the most touching films of this year - Up!

Carl promised the love of his life, his would be wife that he will take her to Paradise falls - a place of natural beauty untouched by man and move their camp house there. As the business of living life takes its toll, the dream is always pushed for later - until its too late.

And that is just the first ten minutes - pure gold. From kids to old couple, the movie beautifully captures their love, their anguish (they cant have kids) and the simple joys life.

For me, the idea of tying balloons to the house and floating away to the place of your dreams, to leave the mundane life behind is far too exciting and almost too real a metafor.

All of us have a Paradise falls, somewhere we want to go someday. And there is always someone we want to share it with. And its always too late.

But in the end, love finds happiness and adventure in the most boring things in life. As Carl found out and hopefully, all of us will.

Think my blog is crap? My friends write much better:

More.. I Need More...

I guess the title says it all.
This blog is a result of my recurrent boredom. I guess if i was going to die of boredom, then why not go ahead and let the world know! They say happiness is doubled when shared; pain is halved. Nobody knows what happens if boredom is shared. I am going to find out soon.
If you are reading this ( of course you are, stupid!) it just shows that you are not much better off either - you have nothing else to do right now other than read my blog about being bored; which means you were bored with whatever you were doing in the first place...
So this is a blog for bored people by a bored boy.( Note how i cleverly avoided any promises of allieviating that boredom)
And do post a comment.. let us spread some boredom around!
As for the part about being too lazy to die - i am not writing about it in this blog; maybe in the next. You get the idea, right?
